Best Undercooked Poems

QUICK EXIT

From the kitchen came a very odd smell
Menu was in Thai so I couldn't tell
Pointed and asked what is that
The waiter said its grilled rat
Was outta there like a bat outta hell...

EYE EYE

Went out with some friends for beer and meat pies
Asked the waiter...

Shattered bottled up dreams
strewn in callous fashion,
litter those Tobacco roads
of man-made poverty
Cancerous amorality
is the accepted dystopian reality
Majority rule by the metal ballot law ... 
second finger got a gun pressed to the jaw
Diablo destiny decree:
Dos digital corrects any uno analog flaw
This warped sensibility
is the venal...

A Serving of Bacteria With the Pork?

By Elton Camp

It’s hard to believe that some say
Eating pork that’s pink is okay

Here’s how a supermarket survey went
Yersinia were found in nearly 70 percent

Salmonella, enterococcus and listeria too
Make undercooked pork a meal to rue

Since hogs to begin with...

It was the end of a long, hard day, made tolerable because the work was performed to benefit victims of the earthquake.

The other volunteers and I ate our bowl of soggy, undercooked rice and beans as if it was the finest meal ever prepared before...

Raw, raw foods
Ain't the true goods for you.
You can die hard from raw intoxication,
Contamination, i-in-inflammation…!
Cook 'em all the way through, yo.

"Y'all chef and staff,"
"Yes…?"
"I can't eat this. Its raw, raw m-meat-is r-raw-raawh meat!"
"Oh…. Well it's just fine, some people do it all the time."
"I ain't...

Sunny Side Up Please

By Elton Camp

As to eating runny eggs, experts say
It’s far preferable just to run away

Undercooked yolk & translucent white
Due to salmonella, are quite a fright

Such cooking, the CDC does deride
For eggs are laid with germs inside

Consuming  “over light” is a mistake
Frying...

Trust is a rare thing when hidden out in life.
              You find it in the craggy spots;
              And the...

We picked the chestnuts
on Mayhills low,
we took their sweetness
to the stove,
we thanked the Lord
for the glorious glow
but we thanked him more
that our day did unfold,
thankyou for the undercooked roast(never got on with that oven)
for the sherry we're drinking
and your Birthday, we toast....

I made a  cheese flan
Both burned  black and undercooked
It was edible

I guess my knack left
Along with my dear husband.
All's been cremated!

That's why I can't eat.
I see Auchwitz and Dachau.
Christianity.

These ring the death knell.
That Pope was  no kind of star
Mechanical  thought

Christianity
Now has...

`
A wish for a fish on a dish would be bliss
Though this bliss could be missed in a wishing dish fish
For a fish might go squish undercooked on a dish
So this wishing fish squished on a dish isn’t missed

Dateline:  19 August, 2008 – Sun Times Headline - Man says 9-foot tapeworm came from undercooked salmon salad 

I thought it appropriate to share this with you on its anniversary.

TAPEWORM

I felt the movement deep inside
And as it passed I almost died
To see a creature...

We Are Not Alone

Where are we going?
Rushing around
Going everywhere and ending up nowhere
Do we have to move so fast?
Eating undercooked hamburgers and supersized Cokes
We do not talk to each other
We never notice the person standing right beside you
Even families talk through email and texts
Too busy...

Stuffed with well cooked food
Turkey drumsticks do extrude
Undercooked statements are rude
Family members feud
Football sets the mood
Expanding bellies cunclude
Digestion sounds are crude...

Painted in blue reminds me of the blues,
maybe I was undercooked got them a reason to overlook,
my talents wasted my energy drained in proving myself over again,
but all went in vain,
when you didn't turn back rather turned your back,
on me, you couldn't hide your glee,
happy...

The Bacon King



When I got married a long time ago
There were many things I looked for
Besides the obvious, romp in the nude
I couldn’t wait, to eat some good food

Well sometimes it, would happen just right
Sometimes I barfed, all though the night
What could I do, my...
